Description: FREE SHIPPING Florida Architecture of Addison Mizner, Signed 1928 First Ed. Large Folio 12"X16" Published William Helburn, Inc., 1928Cloth Cover 1st EditionForward by Paris SingerIntroduction ("Appreciation of a Layman") by Ida M. Tarbell Florida Architecture of Addison Mizner is illustrated with 185 black and white photogravure plates and shows more than 30 residences, including Mizner’s own, plus those of Harold Vanderbilt, Rudman Wanamaker, A. J. Drexel Biddle, Jr., Edward Shearson, Mrs Hugh Dillman, and many more. Other landmark creations by Mizner include the Everglades Club, Via Parigi, the Singer Building, The Cloister at Boca Raton, the Riverside Baptist Church at Jacksonville, among others. Addison Mizner was one of the most original and influential architects America has produced. The houses, clubs and shops he built for the clients of Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Florida, evince a brilliant grasp of how to blend a building with the environment, how to adapt it to climate and how to situate it in order to make the best use of the elements of sea, light and air. An introduction by author and journalist, Ida M. Tarbell offers fascinating glimpses into Mizner’s early life and background, and how it prepared him to develop architecture that belonged in the Florida landscape. Inspired by beauty and charm of the villas and palaces of the Mediterranean, Mizner designed in a Spanish Colonial style far better suited to the subtropical sun and climate of Florida than the transplanted houses of the North at first so common in the state.
